Construction on the 36-megawatt Big Blue Wind Farm in Blue Earth is already underway. The 18 new wind turbines being installed feature nacelle enhancements and a more aerodynamic blade design that optimizes energy output -- enough to power about 20,000 homes per year. The south-central Minnesota wind farm is scheduled to be operating by the end of the year.
